The timing could not be more appropriate. As the Advent Season is upon us, so news came from the Palace that the Duchess of Cambridge is expecting.
It would have been difficult to keep it a secret since Kate has been entered into hospital with a severe attack of morning sickness.
There will be rejoicing across the Commonwealth tonight that another heir to the throne will be born and the succession is secure to the fourth generation.
This is the first time in a hundred and fifty years that there will have been a reigning monarch with three succeeding heirs in line for her throne, Charles, William and Royal Baby.
Matterless the sex of the child, the law of primogenitureship will apply. This year, by act of parliament, the first child of the King or Queen, girl or boy, will inherit the crown.
Will it be Queen Elizabeth 3rd or King William 4th?
Wait and see but, until then:
"God Save the King."
Jubilate.
Ian
